It was kinda hit or miss today...Some nice fluff here and there,,,but some places it was just solid....Good morning of riding but I can still feel the knee injury I did a couple of weeks back...Nothing bad just a reminder that it happened... Saw this dude in his Canadian tux in guest service when I was trying to renew my pass....Neither Blue or I could find my $50 gift card so I said I'll come back...Chatted with Blue online when I got home and they sent me a new one...

Some nice fast snow at the BC tonight...Rode for about an hour and a half...Not a lot of people there...I bounced at 6:15 and the parking lot looked like it was filling up....They got some good coverage from the past storms...and it looks like they are making snow...Was a fun evening session....

Woke up at 5 to find it hat snowed 8-10....Shoveled driveway/walks/deck.....Road didn't look bad though....Don't get many chances to do non resort riding so I made my way to Pulpit Rock trail/road...Arrived around 8....Maybe 4 cars in the parking lot....About 30 with a brisk breeze...Absolutely fantastic skin up...Clouds broke for some blue sky.....The ride down was super floaty....At the bottom I put the skins back on and went around the reservoir and up the blue trail to the AT...Skinned back until it the trail had some pitch and was able to ride it back to the car ....Total distance 6.3 miles....Elevation gain 1385'....Somethin about earning your turns just feels good...One of the best days....

Really good conditions at BC tonight....They produced some product last night,so there were some decent sized piles here and there...and It's kinda cool they let you ride on them while they drain....Big school night...Couple of times the line stretched..Even the stoner college kids runnin the lift were helping fill chairs....Coverage wise they are back in the game for a lil while...But still need to do some work here and there for a solid base...Fun evening..

Good riding with ya....Yea crowds were low and the snow was good.....Colder than I thought it was gonna be....

Some inbounds uphill at the BC ....Up Timberline..then about half way to the B lift on the old trail that's still there but never open....Then ride down and skin back up...Wet snow about 8 or so deep...Was fun to get the skins on again....Did about 4.5 miles.....Fairly quiet most of the morning....

Some nice soft snow at BC tonight....I could not believe how absolutely dead it was...It was like quiet riding the lift....Base is starting to show some signs of giving it up....But it kinda spices it up a bit.....It's been super fun ridin for like an hour or two right after work....
-
That's good work Dan..... Would love to know what their time line is for the next 12 or so hours......

I thought the snow was better today....Lapped Challenge and TCS a bunch...Good day when you ski Blue and get to have some of @enjoralas fantastic meat treats in the lot...

Some spring conditions at BC tonight....Pretty firm under a nice layer of snow cone stuff....You could really ride the turn....On snow about 4:30.....Couple of buses/courtyard packed...But little action on the hill...After an hour the lift line started to get annoying .....Rode another half hour and out at six....Fantastic snow and got some good turns in....
-
Nice late pm session at the BC...Snow is gradually coming back to decent conditions....at least on the F chair side...The usual slick spots...but for the most part everything was pretty easy to get an edge in...I think they were able to make some snow last night....More people there tonight than there has been in the past...Never really waited too long... @antman12 I look for you every time I'm there....

When I did snowboard psia I saw this all the time..... -
Fun night at BC....They were able to get some snow down last night...or at least something that looked the part...Conditions have improved there....Steeper sections had scraped parts that showed groomer/cat tracks in the ice..Some rougher stuff towards the outsides of things....Thought the new stuff would be like glue,but I had no problems...But god damn at the bottom of Grizzly by the trees there is a monstrous fucking bomb hole in the snow.......It wrecked a bunch kids tonight...I think it started as a jump kicker...But everybody was hittin it from all angle and it just grew over time ......If it's there tomorrow I'll try to get a pic...

Rode at BC for little over an hour after work...Conditions were kinda meh...Hardly anybody there ...

Fun sunny morning at Blue...Lazy was good for three...Challenge was nice up top but got a little slick at the bottom...Did a few Come around/Chute/to a spicy Lower Main..Ended with a Paradise which looked like it had been carpet bombed...Good parking lot scene too... -
It got rowdy pretty quick...from deep loose sugar to slick grooming holes in flat light....Felt good to have a day of full sun...
-
At BC from 5 to 6:30ish.....When I rolled in there were many buses but not a lotta cars.. ..Almost turned around....Walking in the courtyard was packed....After I made my way through the sea of humanity I was surprised to find a short lift line....Made my way to F chair and the line was non existent....Snow was good...Little chop at times but it kinda made it more fun...They have an OK base but there are spot that won't like it when Mr Sunshine returns...Bout 6:30 the lift lines started and called it... When I rolled out I counted like 18 buses....

Look up to the sky and seeeeeeeeeee.........

Rode at BC for about an hour and a half late pm....Snow was straight up Idahoans....Steeper parts were again nice....but the flats were pretty lumpy....Not too many people there when I arrived....Most of the time got right on the lift...But as soon as I had to wait more than a few minutes I was gone....Some school buses there when I left...Looked for @antman12 but never saw him....

I got these Alico leather 3 pin touring I don't need anymore....They are in great shape...They are sized 10.5 (and that's what I wear) but these are pretty big on me(usually had to double sock it).....If interested LMK....

Better conditions tonight...Sweet and Low most everywhere....Fast surface and got kinda heavy in some places...The steeper areas were all good though...I ran Timberline right before they closed it for NASTAR and it was pretty meh with some dark spots showin...Empty again tonight...No wait time...Another super fun time....
